This video shows a young girl who is ten years old and is struggling to read. I found it interesting that the girl was in the 94th percentile in math, but in reading she was in the 12th percentile. This video shows how this child is struggling with decoding words, and therefore is not comprehending what she is reading.Ongoing assessment is needed by the teacher in order to cater to each student and his or her needs.
I like how it was mentioned that reading is an emotional battle too. A struggling reader can get discouraged and become embarrassed and gain low self-esteem, all from struggling to read. With fluency, the girl will be able to improve her comprehension and become a better reader.
